but pretty much every ship. Yeah, the sailors would eat
pickles to prevent scurvy. Now, pickles, they're pretty healthy for
you and drinking pickle juice. It's a good way to
stay hydrated and prevent cramping. Nowadays, pickles come in so
many types and styles and flavors. Yeah, you'll find a
pickle you like. And yes, pregnant women and they do

what happened on November the fourteenth, sixteen sixty six and London,
the first blood transfusion was given Samuel Peppies, he performed it.
Now he is able to save the life of a

dogs lived. Now the first blood transition for humans, that

(02:52):
wone happened till seventeen ninety five. College football in eighteen
eighty eight, the University of California, University of Southern California,
the Methodist. They played their first football game today. They won.
They finished the season two wins, no losses. What well, see,
there weren't a lot of schools that had football teams
back there, and they were too far for most of
the schools who wanted to travel out to California. UCLA

(03:14):
they didn't even have a football team until nineteen nineteen.
So that's why Southern cal they actually created the first
bowl game, the Rose Bowl. Yeah, nineteen oh two, just
to show that schools. Yeah, California is not so bad
to come out here. Now if you're wondering, Yeah, you
call them the Southern California Methodist. Well, they were formed
by the Methodist Church then who started the school. They
didn't become the USC Trojans until nineteen seventeen. Now they

(03:37):
say the two aren't connected, but Trojan condoms they went
on sale in nineteen sixteen. That was a big day
in England. In eighteen ninety six, thirty three cars they
paraded down from London to Brighton. They were celebrating the
Highway Act of eighteen ninety six. They read the speed
limit fourteen miles an hour.

twenty seven, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, they had the largest gas
tank in the world and they were really proud of

sprang a leak, so a team of workers went out
to fix the leak, started using as sindlum blowtorches. I

ignited the five million square foot tank created a fireball
over six hundred and fifty feet high level. The whole
square mile of buildings, metal, glass, and debris ran down
on Pittsburgh for over an hour. Thousands were left homeless,
eight hundred people were seriously injured. Twenty eight people died.
That's surprising, I mean luckily, but yeah, I would have
thought it been a lot higher. But you know what,

see a gas tank, there's always a sticker on it
that says flammable. The United States, they'd been using Billboard

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
